something new growing out of something old

[Detector Man]

The dead tree was cut many years ago and my wife tells me it was a fruitless mulberry tree..."old school" shade tree around here....and this oak tree decided to come up from the center of dead tree....i suppose a bird dropped the acorn in there.....thats my story and im sticking to it

I wish someone would build a fence around it for protection...it shows the will to live and deserves protection. Thanks for sharing this picture, amazing! Kelley (Texas)

the ones planted here for shade are fruitless...not a favorite shade tree any more in California...in the "olden" days it didnt take long for them to give lots of shade so they were favored more...now they have a reputation of lifting cement sidewalks and clogging sewer pipes with the roots.

Interesting that it is growing out of the dead muleberry. If it keeps growing, it will likely break through the old muleberry. A picture worthy of its own.
